    82 Note: cabal-install 0.5.2 uses a new default `~/.cabal/config` file which is somewhat self-documenting in that it lists all the valid (non-deprecated) fields along with their default values. If you previously used cabal-install 0.5.1 or earlier then you will not see the new format, so you may like to back up your existing config, let cabal-install 0.5.2 re-create the default config and then merge back any local changes.
